Changing HtmlTextBox Value

[Paul]

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm trying to set the text on a HtmlTextBox on its ItemDataBound event.  I set the Value property, but the output does not change from the default text.  This works with a TextBox, so I'm not sure what is different with the HtmlTextBox.

private void htmlTextBox1_ItemDataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Telerik.Reporting.Processing.HtmlTextBox txtBox = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.HtmlTextBox)sender;
 
            txtBox.Value = "Updated";
        }

Yet the HtmlTextBox outputs the default value.

Thanks for any help / clarification.

Hello Paul,

The HtmlTextBox has a parser which does its thing when the item is being bound (i.e. ItemDataBinding) and any changes after this event are irrelevant. If you need to programmatically change its Value Either use the ItemDataBinding event or create a Binding for the Value property of the HtmlTextBox and add as expression an User Function that makes the changes you need to.

Greetings,

I see how it works now.  I incorrectly assumed the parsing would occur after the ItemDataBound event. 

Thanks for the help!
